Don,
I remember that time you had so many Rotifers they were pressed side to side
and you could've walked across their backs to get to the other side of the slide!

mainaksiitk,

Only thing better than having a nice microscope is having a nice microscope and larvae !

macnmotion,
Is the water warm there are still cold?
We had winter here.

Don,
A lot of structure. What blows me away is bees/ wasps hives with the hexagon shapes.

Frank,

Like a Mimosa tree seed pod.
Mimosa has pointy ends though.

Sheez !!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't.
I have next-door neighbors if they have a few dandelions or clover then they are ripping the whole yard up !

Michael G,
Great webpage !
Thanks !
Kinda makes me want to grow some Teasel !

I have a book on Weeds and it is in there.
Reminds me of Thistle. We can get thistles here in the yard.

fdupre,

I am dying to say it-
Great pics of that "kitten"

Hail Hail
The gangs all here !

Nacho Ben,
I would love to get that look you get with your microscope and camera!

Don,

Couple of "spinners" in there and I saw a rotifer at the end.

Looks good.

Luis,
What did I do- go to microscope movie heaven?
That should be on TV.

macnmotion,
Well that is off the charts of a catch.

dahyon,

Very nice.
Now I have to look up what a Teasel plant is.

Nacho Ben,

Well this is all fantastic !

microplan,

A very likeable fellow.

What magnification objective lens did you use?

Richard,

Welcome to the forum.

My main hobby is local town history. I am in the historical society. I do research and try to add to the knowledge. Definitely not giving up the microscope(s). I was just getting some cool stuff Fall of last year ! Other hobby is guitar playing. I was playing classical but jazz chords. I have an ele...

microplan,

Well you are being creative !
In the beginning of winter not many microbes in my sample waters, then less and less as winter goes on.
I do have a Stereoscope microscope I was looking a little at plant stuff but kinda doing other hobbies right now.

macnmotion,

They are the nastiest ones to come up near !

fdupre, I would guess the protruding "hairs" are Trichomes. I do not know too much about plants but when I viewed Cannabis buds I saw Trichomes and then learned most plants have them. I looked at some kind of small clover like plant (weed they would say) from my lawn and it had the "hairs." https://...

Don,

I'd spin around too with all those tiny critters maybe bacteria.
Then some close ups of a Rotifer.
Interesting footage but disturbed me in spots. (Too many bacteria will do that)
I think you are soon to get more microbes with all those little guys to eat.

I accidentally just "reported this" it said when I was trying to quote. (Note to Oliver)

I can relate. Getting involved. I start to bond with them after filming a while.

macnmotion,

Whew ! Rough for the little one.

macnmotion,

I personally have yet to be impressed by any videos I have seen where they say they used oil.
Sure looks okay, not saying it doesn't...
But nothing so far persuades me- Oh I have to go that route.

Don,
Having watched that-
I do not want to eat that cucumber.
